h1. New features

h1. New features:

If you have used Galicaster before, you won't find many changes visually. Most of the work has been focused on new Operations upon packages, provida a Profile matrix and improve the Ingest service.
Other internal changes will be visible on further releases, when we release new plugins and features that are not ready yet.
Note: nightly operation are not sequentially.

h3. Configuration differences between 1.1.x and 1.2.0

h2. Configuration differences between 1.1.x and 1.2.0

Basically, your configuration will work on the new release.
Your track setup will be considered the "default" profile, so if you don't select a profile, or the profile name is wrong, the default profile will be loaded.
Matterhorn only sees the default profile, so if you want to try schedule something with Galicaster 1.2.0rc1 make sure the default profile is perfectly configured.
EXPLAIN NEW OPTION MobileMH

Take a look to a example (the default profile has been removed)
workflow-parameters = trimHold:true

h3. Matterhorn Scheduler behaviour

With the appearance of profiles, some understanding of their functioning is needed to use the Matterhorn scheduler. There's two options, whether Matterhorn can select the tracks or not.

* When Galicaster's admin mode is off, Galicaster send its tracks to Matterhorn -, giving the scheduler the option to disable some tracks, for instance the VGA or a backup audio.

* When admin mode is on, changes are expectable. Galicaster won't send its tracks and the scheduler won't be able to select any, just schedule. Then, Galicaster will record all tracks activated on the current profile and Matterhorn
